WINTER WONDERLAND in MOOMIN VALLEY PARK 2025
The theme is "Winter at Moominvalley." With the first Christmas over, snow has piled up on the terrace by the cove and the lawn in front of Kokemus, and the aurora shines in the night sky every day, bringing the full winter season to Moominvalley Park. Incorporating elements of both "viewing" and "play," Winter Wonderland offers winter activities to enjoy throughout the park, as well as a variety of special menus and exclusive merchandise that can only be purchased here. Enjoy an extraordinary experience in a special winter world while feeling the connection with Moomintroll and his friends.

Meet Moran in the mysterious winter world of "Moominvalley Dance Parade"
Last year's hugely popular night parade, the "Moominvalley Illumination Parade," has been transformed into the "Moominvalley Dance Parade," and will be performed both day and night! Watch as Moomintroll approaches Molang, who appears in Moominvalley, and the two begin to bond. The sight of Molang, about 2.5 meters tall, is a must-see. Join the characters as they parade to the music of Moominvalley Park, both day and night, and have fun!

The popular character "Ancestors" will continue to appear in greetings!
Following on from last year's introduction of Moran, this winter a new character, "Ancestor," has appeared at Moominvalley Park. As the name suggests, he is the ancestor of the Moomins and is a cute character with fluffy fur. The currently hugely popular "Ancestor" will continue to stroll around the park during the day during "WINTER WONDERLAND in MOOMINVALLEY PARK." Come and spend a heart-fluttering moment greeting "Ancestor."
Attention point
What is Moran?
She is a female monster wrapped in cold air and is always alone. The grass and trees freeze wherever she goes, making her a fearsome presence, and she wanders around looking for light. The Moomins feel a little sorry for her.

As the sun sets, the entire park is illuminated in various ways, creating a magical winter atmosphere for Moominvalley. The vibrant lighting transforms the park into an extraordinary space, with LED lights on the metasequoia trees on both sides of Moominhouse, aurora borealis appearing in the sky above the Moominvalley area, and projection mapping on the skating rink. It's a must-see.
